Civil engineering and infrastructure software AUTODESK
AutoCAD® Civil 3D®

AutoCAD® Civil 3D® civil engineering software uses building information modeling (BIM) to help civil engineering project teams evaluate more what-if scenarios earlier in the design process and get transportation, land development, and environmental projects done faster and more efficiently.

AutoCAD Civil 3D helps civil engineers optimize project performance with geospatial analysis to identify the best project site, stormwater analysis for more sustainable designs, quantity takeoff and dynamic earthwork calculations to optimize material usage, and 3D visualizations to better understand project impacts on environment.

Features

AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software, the building information modeling (BIM) solution for civil engineering, helps teams design, analyze, and visualize projects more efficiently. With built-in tools for geospatial and storm water analysis, quantity takeoff, and 3D visualization, civil engineers can explore more what-if scenarios and optimize project performance. Core features and functionality of AutoCAD Civil 3D include:

Geospatial analysis integration in conceptual design
Surveying and coordinate systems
Surfaces, grading, and dynamic relationships
Building information modeling for street and highway design
Intelligent pipes layout
Integrated hydraulic and hydrological analysis for storm water management
Facilitates team coordination-synchronizing design changes
Dynamic quantity takeoff and earthwork calculations
Styles, CAD standards, and production drafting
Data compatibility and interoperability
Visualization and better communication of design intent
